As ethnography, this book remains an important monograph on an indigenous West African legal system. Tiv conceptions of order are complex and articulate, but Bohannan presents them in a way that contextualizes them in legal and larger social terms. The book concentrates on disputes and various forums in which they are heard; the analysis is based on and illustrated by numerous cases that the author attended. Beyond the specific ethnographic and regional significance of his findings, Bohannan's volume is an early, and very thoughtful, reflection on the limits of anthropological interpretation.

Justice and Judgment Among the Tiv

We, The Alien is a genuine attempt by the author to do something different with the presentation of cultural anthropology. It is devoted to the idea that cultural anthropology an important topic for all individuals to explore because it provides a means for people to gain new insights about themselves and to stretch their imaginations. The book’s approachable, humanistic discussions offer different points of view. Readers can examine their own and other cultures from the outside looking in. The goal of the book is to promote ethnographic insight. The author, a widely respected senior anthropologist whose earlier books established the standards of relevance, readability, and professional concern, introduces all the primary subfields of anthropology as well as areas of specialization with a quiet tone of authority that is both personal and inspiring.
